	So, if you happen to have any regular fixed disks that are 
/dev/*da0* (e.g., the ones that /, /usr, /var, etc... are on), you 
will allow unprivileged users to mount them, presumably unmount them, 
and otherwise muck about with them however they want?!?  Moof!


	I hope that this is on a machine that is effectively single-user 
(i.e., just you), and not one that allows anyone else to ever log 
in....
